About Me — LAUREN SWAGO

3 days in a van. 1,129 miles traveled. There’s probably only one person in the entire universe I could do that with. Glad I found him 😏

This probably goes somewhere cool

How does this one get more adorable each year? Please share your tips to aging gracefully with your aunt. Happy FIFTH(!) birthday you lil stinker 💕

Really happy that being buried in the sand is still the coolest

Til death do us part is for quitters. Happy 5 years @farreall you are the Ron to my Lorraine

What a weekend celebrating this WOMAN #bellsbeachbash

What a difference 5 years and 20 degrees can make

Welcome to Coffee Talk. Call. We’ll talk, no big whoop.

Are we “outdoors people” now?

We may have hit the highlight of our trip on day 2 and I’m okay with that

One year in and lots of lessons learned. Demo is fun…realizing you threw away crucial parts to your shower is not. People on youtube are just better at things than you. There are approximately 10,000 shades of bluish-gray (I love them all). It

Found paradise. And the weirdest (in the best way possible) crew ever #WHERESTHEPOTTERY

The dream team (not pictured: angry beach mob carrying sticks and holding us hostage)
